... Sedgwick’s First Selection, English Bridle Butt Leather with a 3.8cm solid brass 'Swell Front West End' buckle with a stainless steel tongue, for aesthetic appearance and a nod to our English Saddlery Heritage.
Obtained from the supplier with the Royal Warrant and used in horse harness, Sedgwick's best bridle leather is world renowned for its strength, durability, density and lustre, and when new it is fairly stiff.
As the product is worn in, in a similar way to wearing in new boots, the belt leather will react to the natural oils in the hands and to the body heat of the wearer, and gradually become more supple over time. This produces a wonderfully personal accessory, a condition which cannot be purchased in a newly made state.
Each strap is cut from a single layer of this unique leather... it cannot delaminate, needs no stitching around the edges to hold it together and will not split at the holes in the same way as those available from popular high street retailers.
The buckle has the strength to last for the lifetime of the wearer and beyond! Handcast in sand using methods hundreds of years old at our supplier's foundry in Walsall (West Midlands, England), this classic style buckle is polished to our specified high shine finish.
